Several years ago, I lost my job suddenly and unexpectedly. I was young and hadn't had time to really build a savings. Finding a new job was taking longer that I had expected. By Christmas, I was down to my last dime, depressed, and suffering panic attacks.
When my family got together to exchange presents, I had made the agreement with my sisters that we would not exchange presents. When I got there, however, my oldest sister handed me a box with a note that read, "For when times get tough". Inside was a case a Ramen noodles and a six pack of cheap beer, and a nudie mag.
She then handed me a second box with a note that read, "For when times get REALLY tough". Inside was a ski mask, a plastic pistol, and Mad Dog 20/20. She gave me a hug and said, "I figured that right now, you needed a laugh more than anything."
So, that is my avatar: Me, sitting on my parents' couch, wearing my Christmas present.
